Training and Education Offered by Internship
Please describe your objective in training Predoctoral interms. Please include a brief description of your training program and how it fits within the goals or mission of your agency:
Interns receive a minimum of 2 hours/wk of individual supervision, a 1.5 hr/wk supervision group, a 1.5 hr/wk reading/didactic group and a 1.5 hr/wk process group. All supervision focuses on the transference/countertransference relationship, with particular focus on how that relationship is brought into the supervision in the form of "parallel process." The agency takes an "intersubjective" apporach to treatment and thus views the client/therapist relationship as the factor of change in psychotherapy. As a result, much focus is placed in supervision on the character issues of the interns and how those traits affect the therapeutic work positively or negatively.
After the one-year internship is completed, our interns will have the opportunity to continue for an additional year, towards post-doc requirements, should they be invited to do so. As a Psychological Assistant, our trainees earn a percentage of their patients' fees.
If applicable, describe in detail how the internship training differs from practicum training:
